Part of it was I neglected to pass --prefix=/usr to the configure script, so
the binary was put in the wrong place=the log file I sent is wrong one. But
tvvtime is still dead. Same reason as before.
X initialization is 5x faster now, but glxinfo still says:
[root at coyote ~]# glxinfo
name of display: :0.0
display: :0 screen: 0
direct rendering: No (If you want to find out why, try setting
LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose)
So where do I set this, Makefile (what set of flags?), export to env, what?
Thanks.
